10. Vicky from A Mad Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs Waller (Viking Books For Young Readers)

I'd love to see what Vicky's up to now, and how her life has progressed since the book ended. I bet she's carved out a life that so many of us would be proud of.

9. Everyone in Emeralds & Ashes by Leila Rasheed (Disney Hyperion)

If you haven't read Leila Rasheed's At Somerton series, you need to. She's created rich family histories and relationships that are definitely reminiscent (and in 90% of the cases) exceed the drama of shows like Downton Abbey.

I'd love to catch up with all of the characters and see how they're doing.
